tour de abstract

happenings from the abstract artform tour i did last month. some of the stuff "they didn't want you to see"

four two oh

last month when i did that abstract artform tour we found ourselves with a show at cannabis cultures vapor lounge right around the start of the olympics while we were in vancouver. that was a pretty big deal to me because i guess you could say i'm a fan of marc emery's activism and lifestyle not to mention the cannabis culture magazine which he's the publisher of. being the diehard stoner i am i've always prefered a smoking friendly setting rather then somewhere that serves alcohol like a bar.. which is what this world is obviously saturated with.. and i've always wanted to personally get a chance to play at cannabis culture in vancouver but have never been with a band i thought had the right sound to play in the relaxed lounge like setting. but abstract artform is clearly so perfect so i had to hit up marc and see what was possible, and sure enough he was into the idea and hooked me up with greg williams at pot tv who set up the event for us in his lounge where they filmed our performance for the pot tv network. anoter cool thing about this particular show (which was already ridiculous in itself) is that there were people from alll over the world who were in town for the olympics in the lounge that night who A) had no idea what the fuck was going on and that we did the whole "pot's not a big deal" thing here in canada and B) were so fucking high and blasted out of their faces hahaha that it was hilarious. probably smoking the best weed they will ever smoke in their lives. vancouver 2010! sports! bc bud! hip hop! welcome to canada yo. hahaha..

it was definitely the highlight of our stay in vancouver. fuck the olympic jock worship bullshit.

everyone at cannabis culture was really fuckin' cool to us, and i learned a lot of useless information about weed. it was great! i looked at trichomes under a microscope and all sorts of other ridiculous shit like that. after our performance marc emery rolled us 3 beautiful looking joints which we savored for the long ride back to shitipeg where i began to adapt back into my fraction of a semi normal life (which i still really haven't managed to get around to yet fuck)

enjoy this poorly edited representation of what i think a youtube video is supposed to look like:

happy birthday to me

DJed funky breaks at the academy last night for my 20th.. it was fuckin' fun. thanks to everyone who came out and danced.

fuuuuuuuuuckkk yeeahhhhhh bruce willis

i am trying not to lose my head

i'll be dropping this tomorrow night at the academy.

hey, where ya been?

just thought i'd check in with you and see what's wrong today.

i turn 20 on saturday, that's fairly interesting. sometimes i find it hard to believe that i can survive on my own (which is not entirely true) and i ask myself how many more of these years do i think i can even pull off!? haha. 20. 20 + 20 = 40. sup dad.
so i'm 20, still broke, still not content but on the right path, still typing my ideas on useless social networking sites like blogspot here when i could be doing something productive or making some sort of positive contribution. anyways, i'm just in an overall weird mood today, and i think it has a lot to do with my pending birthday, potential career, and just where i am situated in my life right now. devin gave me a card for x-mas this year that simply said on it "life is either a daring adventure, or nothing". and that was once said by helen keller. i take that to heart a lot. my friend mike is 27, just split with his lady of a year, and is trying to figure out whether to keep playing music or take a career as an accountant for a high end financial institution. i guess that's what i have to look forward to? people spend their entire lives trying to decide whether they are where they want to be, or if they haven't reached that point yet. or what the point there trying to get to/make is. i'm not sure what i want, but for the first time ever i think that i'm actually on the right path and i think that being content is an achievable destination. for the first time ever i thought about what is actually important to me, and sacrificed my 20th birthday to work somewhere that may lead to a fucking awesome future. i guess we'll see how tomorrow night goes. got any bus fair i could have?

march 1st

you just snuck right up on me there didn't you. dreaded rent day. they should give us some sort of discount, i feel ripped off, i only paid for 28 days. i'm gonna put on my jewish hat on and complain a bit.

i stepped on my cat twice today

but it still seems to love me.

so i got this idea

i think i might begin trying to train my cats to use to the toilet, like humans. i don't know if they'll have the mental capacity to flush it afterwards, but whatever. i don't pay water in my block and i pay for devin's toilet paper 98% of the time so why should they be my financial responsibility as well? kitty litter is like, 4 times the cost of toilet paper and has to be disposed of so fast! think of all the crack i can smoke with the money i'll be saving!
